Happy Easter and other rambling

It's kind of late and I regret I'm
not 100% healthy yet having been sick for four days hence my very limited
activity in the kitchen.. I got an Easter basket filled with "this and
that" with the hope on the giver's part that I'd be inspired to bake some
Easter treats but I just can't do more than those decadent double chocolate
zucchini brownies I made earlier so that's it folks- until next time! I
do hope everyone had a fun Easter Sunday and who knows, I may still use what's
in the basket for my belated Easter treats?

I just realized I didn't formally
welcome spring and that's after seeing this picture I took of Ms JC's door.
I love spring because I know my herbs will flourish again and guess what,
I just saw a sign of life on my fig tree. I thought it's going to die despite
reassurance from the gardener that it's normal to see it in that state and that
it will eventually grow.

I'll be very happy and fulfilled if
I see my fig tree with an abundance of fruits like this calamansi in our backyard

We discovered a new source for our favorite
guava paste so I was like on panic buying mode and got me three pounds of the
delicacy with the plan to make morepastelitos de guayaba. "They" are patiently
waiting for the day when I'll come to work with a tray of the delicious pastry.
Meanwhile, they're chillin' in my fridge :-)

Ah, I ordered these online when I
saw Amy's Vanilla Dream Cake. I don't want to take my chance in her
raffle giveaway and planned to make the cake ASAP but I was busy and tired and
then I got sick. But I will make the cake one of these days. Angel
food cake is my all-time fave so in time ...

I finally found a Wilton 1A pastry
decorating tip on EBay ideal for my ladyfingers.

Here's hoping I'd be back into the
groove soon and make use of all these stuff :-)
